Always stay helpful Bob

 I grew up overshadowed by lush gates

Couldn't catch the eye of no city girl

Here I am devoted to Bob
How I love the way you look in your turquoise jeans
Can't believe I let the smog cloud my eye

Where the lush gates stand
And the massive volcanoes surround
I'll ride my yellow truck with you by my side

There's a whisper in the Winchester breeze
Reminding me of Rachel
That whisper builds
That whisper cries
Rachel in the morning skies

You appear on the horizon
Brushing that curly hair from your eyes

The city folk with their fancy gadgets
Cement gates like grey tombs
Don't have nothin' on our way of life
Just listen to the owls

Don't live your life like a goose
Today might feel a time to be like a goose
But that ain't no way to lead a life

You know, there's a lot I drive by in my yellow truck
Folk who is messing up
Always stay helpful, Bob
Always stay helpful

In Winchester, when I was a child
I met a helpful man
"How can you be so helpful?" asked I
Here was his wise reply

Don't live your life like a goose
Today might feel a time to be like a goose
But that ain't no way to lead a life

Met an old lady who lived like a goose
"What happened to her?" asked I
Here was his wise reprise

Don't live your life like a goose
Today might feel a time to be like a goose
But that ain't no way to lead a life

That lady's gone now
It's sad really
Word is, she had curly hair once

Little Bob, keep your jeans turquoise
Always stay helpful, Bob
Always stay helpful

Owls, owls, owls
Owls, owls, owls...
